Gene Synthesis> | … The genomic fragment of the LMNA-V6 promoter (P1: −1133 to +1 bp) was synthesized using a custom gene synthesis service (GenScript, Piscataway NJ, USA). The lamin A/C promoter (P2: −571 to +251 bp) was amplified by PCR using the following primer set: 5′- … | Get A Quote |
Lamin A/C proteins, major components of the nuclear lamina, are encoded by the LMNA gene. These proteins have multiple cellular functions, including DNA transcription and replication, chromatin organization, regulation of the cell cycle, and apoptosis. Mutations in LMNA are associated with a variety of diseases called laminopathies. LMNA has implications in cancer; however, its mechanisms of dysregulation in cancer cells are not yet fully understood. In this study, among the LMNA transcript variants, we focused on a transcriptional variant 6 (termed LMNA-V6), which contains unique 3 exons upstream of exon 1 of LMNA. The promoter region of LMNA-V6 formed multiple G-quadruplexes and increased its transcriptional ... More
